of the speakers.
"We are of many races; we
came to these beloved shores
from a hundred lands across the
sea; and yet by some blessed
alchemy we have all become
Americans. For many years the
Post has been, in a very real
sense, the spokesman for the
glories and the traditions of
America—for the noble princi-
ples upon which this country was
sounded. It will continue to be
just that—in these grim war
years and afterwards—for, to the
new editor's way of thinking,
there is nothing in this stricken
world even half so important as
mankind's yearning for freedom
and for brotherhood.
"That one misunderstood ar-
ticle in the Post could have caused
so much anxiety in the minds of
its readers is a matter of real
sorrow to the new editor. He
regrets, above all, that some hurt
may have been done to America
at a time when national unity is
needed as it never was needed
before. He asks all Post readers
to believe that these words are
written in the deepest sincerity."

Senator Johnson of Colorado
Urges Formation of Jewish Army
WASHINGTON. ( W NS ) —The
creation of a Jewish army com-
posed of Palestinian and state-
less Jews to fight with the United
Nations was urged on the Senate
floor by Senator Edwin C. John-
son of Colorado, who estimated
that 200,000 Jews, mostly from
the Middle East, could be re-
cruited for such a military force.
Senator Johnson, a member of
the Committee for a Jewish Army,
stressed that "no Jews from
America would be eligible, for
American Jews will fight under
the Stars and Stripes."

magazine was taken after Mr.
Biddle had charged "Social Jus-
tice" with violating the Espion-
age Act of 1917 and of having
engaged over a period of time
in a "sustained and . systematic
attack on certain of our activi-
ties directly related to the war
effort as well as upon public
morale generally."
Mr. Biddle announced that
evidence designed to prove who
owns, edits, directs and finances
"Social Justice" will be placed
before a special grand jury in-
vestigating Nazi propaganda and
seditious influences. It was be-
lieved here that Father Cough-
lin, who founded the magazine
but has since May, 1940, dis-
claimed any connection with it,
will be subpoenaed.
The grand jury investigation,
which is expected to last sev-
eral months, will be "the first
in a series" involving magazine
and newspapers which appear to
he seditious. It was indicated
that government action may
soon be taken against a number
of foreign-language papers, in-
cluding one Italian.
"We want to find out if there
has been a systematic propa-
ganda that has tied up regularly
with the Axis effort," Mr. Bid-
dle explained, adding that every
effort will be made to avoid dis-
crimination against loyal foreign
language newspapers.
Meanwhile, Postmaster-General
Walker has ordered the publish-
ers of "Social Justice" to an-
pear here on April 29 to show
cause why the ban against the
magazine should not be made
permanent. The Detroit priest's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
J. Coughlin of Royal Oak, are
the majority stockholders in the
Social Justice Publishing Com-
pany. Perrin Schwartz of Royal
Oak is listed as editor.
Mr. Biddle informed Mr. Wal-
ker that a study of 10 major
themes broadcast by "our ene-
mies" since Dec. 1, last shows
"a close relationship of material
contained in Social Justice to
those themes during approximate-
ly the same period.
"The themes played upon by
Social Justice since our entry
into the war, at which time the
statute came into operation, are
in the main but a continuation
and development of those appear-
ing over a long period of time
prior to Dec. 7.
"In fact, a striking similarity
between this publication and
Axis propaganda appeared as
early as the issue of Dec. 25,
1938, in which whole portions
of a speech, made on Sept. 13,
1935, by Propaganda Minister
Goebbels were published in So-
cial Justice, as an original ar-
ticle with but a few words
changed here and there and with
no crediting or other identifica-
tion of source."
NEW YORK PRESS
LAUDS BAN
NEW YORK (WNS) — The
Government's action in barring
Father Coughlin's mouthpiece
"Social Justice" from the mails
was applauded by the nation's
press. according to reports re-
ceived here. Excerpts from sev-
eral New York papers follow:
New York Herald-Tribune:-
"The Post Office order, issued at
the instance of the attorney gen-
eral, which bars the Coughlinite
weekly 'Social Justice' from the
mails is the most direct blow
which the government has yet
struck against the disruptive,
defeatist, Fascist-minded litera-
ture of disunity and race pre-
judice which certain persons are
still freely manufacturing in this
country."
New York Times:—"Nine out
of ten of those Americans who
are familiar with the doctrines
preached in the Coughlin maga-
zine, Social Justice, would feel
that the air was purer if this
publication were to disappear.
We think that no one, of what-
ever faith, can have any diffi-
culty in distinguishing between
Father Coughlin's functions as
an ordained priest of the Cath-
olic Church and his self-appoint-
ed undertakings as an agitator."
The New York Post asked:—
"If Social Justice is bad enough
to be banned from the mails,
why is it not bad enough to
warrant investigation for possible
sterner legal action against all
concerned with it?"
The sole dissenting voice
against the government's action
was raised by the Berlin radio
April 24, 1942

President's Jewish and Bolshe-
vik cronies."
